Saakashvili Hopes to Win 60%

Incumbent presidential candidate Mikheil Saakashvili told the Financial Times he hoped to get 60% in tomorrow’s election.

“It will be much more difficult for us in the second round,” the Financial Times quoted Saakashvili as saying on January 4. “These are the most competitive elections held in Georgia thus far. Of course, the political situation is turbulent but that is because we are a democracy. We have made mistakes but we are on the right path.”
